Ruin is horrible right now. You are waiting to see if its doing bad? Thats what the ptb is for and we all said its horrible, no one wanted it. But you added it. Because why not? "It's used too often!" they reply, "Well _____ perk is a survivor perk used to often" "__ perk is used even more" Okay but lithe and self care aren't as problematic and as Not_Queen said on certain platforms lithe is free and self care is free to EVERYONE on one of the most popular characters at that. We have to run ruin or the games go by in 2 seconds with a 10 minute queue time. The fact that survivors barely ever get off a gen makes ruin as useful as self care and no mither combo

    Okay so I agree with you mostly but I have some issues:

    -From my own personal experiences, you can still do well without ruin. This comes from a green rank facing red ranks, who usually plays fairly. It's not instantly game over because one perk was lost.

    -If you're waiting 10 minutes for killer queues there's something wrong. They're literally instant for most of the player base right now because there are literally no killers rn.

    I definitely see what you mean with the rank system comment but I want to know what you do for instant queues please tell me. My rank 12 queues are 5 minutes+

    Rank, and Strats.


    I always hear this comment, but I as a killer spent my majority of time trying to make the game fun for everyone, tried to avoid tunneling and slugging to much. But as of this recent change I'm noticing I have to adapt to those worse strats that I avoided to try and keep things fun.


    But as of now it just feels like I have to take what I can get, like tunneling, or killing the dude that got the short end of the stick and was left to go second stage. So i let him live a little longer intentionally. Sometimes winning, and getting a 2k-4k isn't fun. Finishing a match in 3 minutes is far from entertaining as killer but some do get those kicks and gigs so I don't diss it ya know?


    Ruin didn't just take the ability to make it a little easier to 4k, as a killer it took the enjoyment. The entertainment of actually getting to play the game and make it fun for everyone.

    The loss of ruin has actually made this game more enjoyable for me. I can’t believe I said that, but it’s true for me.

    Yes, I have games where I am absolutely blown out of the water with good SWF groups. However, this would’ve happen with or without ruin.

    You win some, you lose some. I have had to adapt strategies and different techniques to stand a chance, but I have enjoyed it so far.
